IT'S A BOY!!!


Today we had our ultrasound and found out IT'S A BOY!!!  We are really excited.  During the ultrasound we got to see all 4 chambers of the heart, it eye sockets, nasal canal, brain, spine, and they looked at all of his long bones in his arms and legs.  Everything looked good.  His heartbeat was at 141 bpm.  He still had his legs crossed, so the picture of his little penis isn't very good, but the ultrasound tech said she was 100% sure that it is a boy.  As of right now his head is down and is facing my left side.  His legs are crossed and his hands are up around its face.  We did actually get to see his little hands move a little bit during the ultrasound.  This was really the coolest thing I have seen so far.  During the ultrasound after laying there for awhile I got really hot and a little nauseous.  I asked Jason for some water and sat up for a bit, then the ultrasound tech had me lay on my left side for a bit.  That is actually when she could see that it was a boy.  After laying on my side for awhile I felt better and then she had me lay on my back for a couple of extra pictures.  I asked the tech how long he was and she said at this point they usually don't measure the length, but they look at the long bones in their arms and legs, size of head, and around its waist and that helps to determine how long he is.  She said he is probably about 9in long right now.  We are very excited and I am looking forward to doing our registry very soon.  Jason is also excited that we don't have to paint the nursery since the room is already blue.  Below are all the ultrasound pictures that they gave us.  Our next appointment is in 4 weeks on April 19th.  That is when I have to do the sugar test to make sure I don't have diabetes.  I have to drink this sugar juice an hour before my appointment.  Let hope everything goes well with that.  I will keep you updated with any exciting news.  Enjoy the pictures.
